Kerler explains the AHEYM project to Rusakovskaia as an archive of interviews that will be used for books and for Jewish readers. The project will have centres in Vilnius and in America holding the same materials.

Kerler asks Rusakovskaia about the meaning and use of Yiddish words, and she sometimes explains in Russian. The items include the word for a lot or full, a verb meaning to leave a wife and children, and a word for 'back' or 'ago'. Kerler also asks which forms she uses for suddenly, various, and the agreement of 'good head', and for singular and plural of 'enemy'. Kerler thanks her at the end.
The passage is a questionnaire session on word meanings and forms, with Russian explanations from the informant and mention of Ovruch and Korosten usage.
Rusakovskaia shows Kerler her Yiddish books and her father's prayer book. Her father copied out by hand the pages that had gone missing from it.

The passage adds her father's handwritten replacement pages and Kerler's offer to send her a Yiddish book.
